Notes

How to Use Apple Cider Mix

To make a single serving, stir 3 to 4 tablespoons of the apple cider mix into 1 cup of hot liquid. You can use:
  • Apple juice (for classic apple cider flavor)
  • Water (for a lighter option)
  • Orange juice (for a citrusy twist)
  • Prepared apple cider (for extra apple richness)
Taste and adjust the amount of mix to your preference.
For a crowd, stir 1 to 1½ cups of mix into 1 gallon of hot liquid and keep warm in a slow cooker or on the stovetop. 

Storage Tips

  • Store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
  • Keep in a cool, dry place away from humidity to prevent clumping.
  • For gifting, pack into mason jars or decorative tins with a ribbon and a little instruction card.
